Contradiction with Genesis 1:10
Revelation 8:8 describes the sea being affected by catastrophic events, while Genesis 1:10 states that God saw the sea was good, implying stability and order.
Genesis 1:10: And God called the dry [land] Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that [it was] good.
Contradiction with Psalm 93:4
This verse speaks of the Lord's majesty and strength over the seas, contrasting with the chaos and destruction of the seas in Revelation 8:8.
Psalm 93:4: The LORD on high [is] mightier than the noise of many waters, [yea, than] the mighty waves of the sea.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 5:22
This states that God placed boundaries for the sea that it cannot cross, contradicting the upheaval and transformation described in Revelation 8:8.
Jeremiah 5:22: Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand [for] the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
Contradiction with Isaiah 54:9
The verse assures that the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth, while Revelation 8:8 envisions a catastrophic impact involving the sea.
Isaiah 54:9: For this [is as] the waters of Noah unto me: for [as] I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
Contradiction with Psalm 104:9
This indicates that God set a boundary for the waters so they will not return to cover the earth, unlike the destructive scene in Revelation 8:8.
Psalm 104:9: Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Contradiction with Job 38:8-11
These verses imply a divine restraint and control over the sea, which contradicts the chaos unleashed upon the sea in Revelation 8:8.
Job 38:8-11: Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb?
Paradox #1
The contradiction in the verse relates to the description of a mountain being thrown into the sea and its consequences. In reality, mountains cannot be physically thrown into the sea in the manner described, and such an event would have different scientific effects than those mentioned. Scientific understanding of geology and physics suggests that such an occurrence isn't feasible.
